Hi everyone!
The elders, helpers, and moderators have all been working very hard over the past months, and I am elated to announce that a new Creative 1.8 server is nearly ready to be launched! There will be more details coming later, but for now, here are the questions I can answer for you!
New Creative?! Aren't we already on 1.8?
Actually, no. Creative is currently on Minecraft 1.7, with a plugin that gives us some 1.8 items, like banners and Prismarine. But it's a really old plugin that isn't updated anymore, and it has a lot of bugs in it.
What will happen with my plots? Will the map be reset?
I am planning on migrating the current creative map to the new server, so your builds will not be lost. BigCreative is going to be a little trickier to deal with because of how we are restructuring the server, but rest assured that I will do everything I can to keep those builds too.

- A longtime community member of The Sandlot.
- A great builder.
- A high technical proficiency of Minecraft game mechanics.
- A person who contributes to discussions on the forums with great feeback on the pros and cons of potential changes or decisions that The Sandlot goes through as the community grows.

Maintenance will begin at approximately 10pm Arizona time and extend until about midnight.
To find the time in your timezone, see here: http://everytimezone.com/#2015-6-29,1020,c8l
All servers will be unavailable for a short time, and the rest of the maintenance window will require restarts several times on all servers. I will be online at the time and informing you via in-game chat when I need to restart a particular server. The maintenance will consist of security updates for the underlying OS and database maintenance.
Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Hi everyone,
I will be spending the next three evenings working on server maintenance. I will need to work on server and plugin updates for the Lobby, Parkour, Skyblock, and Hardcore.
You will be notified via alert when the maintenance will happen, sometime between 8pm and midnight Arizona time. You can find what time that is for you here: http://everytimezone.com/#2015-6-8,900,cn3
Only one server at a time will be offline, which will hopefully minimize your disappointment that you can't play on your favorite server for a while.
Thank you for your patience and understanding, and I apologize that I have to do this maintenance during peak playtime for many of you.

The Factions server on The Sandlot was a real test for the Sandlot community. I think overall, it didn't work out. I know many of you loved Factions, and many are curious why there has been no official announcement on its future.
I and the mod team are working very hard to make Sandlot the best family-friendly Minecraft server it can be, and we all feel that our time is much better spent bringing you fun elsewhere instead of trying to resurrect Factions and turn it into something that can work better for our community instead of being a constant source of drama and bad behavior.
That doesn't mean that there will never be another game like it on Sandlot, it just means that for the time being, we are too busy to plan an entirely new game and all the intricacies that such an endeavor mandates.
We all hope you have fond memories of Factions on Sandlot, and that you can understand our decision.
The Factions sign will be removed in the lobby, and the Factions entry will be removed...

Beginning at approximately 10pm Arizona time and extending until about midnight, all servers will be unavailable while updates are performed.
To find the time in your timezone, see here: http://everytimezone.com/#2015-5-7,1020,cn3
The entire server will be unavailable for a short time, and the rest of the maintenance window will see the lobby restarted several times. The maintenance will consist of security updates for the underlying OS and (hopefully) updating the lobby to Minecraft 1.8. And just to be clear, nothing about Hogwarts or anything else in the lobby will be changed, only the version update.
Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Parkour has been updated to Minecraft 1.8! You should have all your inventory items and enderchest items still. Leaderboards have been reset for all courses, so go get first place before Armorboy99 gets there!
Also, now you can build your courses using the new 1.8 blocks! I expect to see some slime block trampolines!
